Two thirds of my email has to do with how users see problems with KDE programs. In my Linux Users Group, it is not unusual to find ongoing problems with upgrades of various KDE components, of which Amarok is a member. My policy about updating, is entirely derived from observing what happens in the past. I don't mind running "unstable" software. To get an update, and then a few hours later, get a suggested update for the same package, and then possibly get another suggested update for the same package in another few hours; leads me to think that people that people updating packages don't test the packages they are pushing into the Debian system. I am not suggesting that you are doing something like this. Amarok is in some way part of KDE, and I have noticed that this problem exists in KDE packages. If I had no limit for downloading from the internet, the idea of downloading a zillion bytes of some package all because 37 bytes were different, all because of some typographical error that was never tested: I would never have made this report. In terms of amarok, I will endeavor to not file any more reports in the near future. If I have problems, I will just move to some other player. I don't want to cause you any problems that you don't want. Gord -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
